Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett is the second Discworld novel featuring
the Night Watch of Ankh-Morpork. There is a string of mysterious murders
and the victims were killed by a strange new weapon. It's up to the
Night Watch to investigate these murders and figure out how they were
killed and by whom, all while the captain of the Night Watch is getting
married and retiring and new recruits are being trained. This was quite a
humorous murder mystery novel and I think I liked it somewhat better
than the first Night Watch book, Guards! Guards!. This book takes place
after Guards! Guards! and while it's not strictly necessary to read that
book first, it does provide background on the characters.
